Does this work?
Rule 2495, "The Birthday Tournament", says:
"After adequate time for discussion of the Birthday Tournament's
regulations, the Herald (or delegate) CAN initiate a sanctioned
tournament, promulgating a specified, finalized set of tournament
regulations, without 3 objections. This title may thereafter be
amended only by the Herald or eir designee Without 3 Objections. The
initiation SHOULD be timed to coincide with Agora's Birthday."
Although "title" is no longer defined, I think it's reasonably clear
from context and its legal definition, so I don't think this works.
The good news is that having an inoperative provision in the
regulations doesn't break them overall, so we can go ahead with
adopting them.

Only one finger had such a resolution in the previous agoran week: my finger at Gaelan (resolved by Telnaior). I am therefore able to claim a Justice Card. I claim a Justice Card. That's not true, my Unjustified Gesticulation resolved that week as well.

To save myself some time I wrote a script written that parses the previous award format into the language that the Treasuror automation interprets. Receiving something like this with 20 minutes to spare before the Agoran week was up gave me a panic attack. Will do. That was a one-off because that CFJ was still up in the air at the time, thus I was holding off on entering stuff into my automation (which is not geared to recalculate gamestate after deleting something that was determined to be ineffective, I have to manually patch the data if that happens).

Hi. I made a deal with seventeenmachine to get a Victory Card from them (it was one of those several Promises that were cashed but did nothing), but they seem to be MIA. Requesting an Emergency Regulation (which can transfer assets) to transfer 1 Victory Card from them to me to honor it. Thanks.
